Death is certain indeed for what is born; and birth is certain for the dead. Therefore, you should not lament over something that is unavoidable.
For death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
For, death is certain for the born, and re-birth is certain for the dead; therefore you should not feel grief for what is inevitable.
For death of anyone born is certain, and of the dead (re-) birth is a certainly. Therefore you ought not to grieve over an inevitable fact.
For, certain is death for the born and certain is birth for the dead; therefore, over the inevitable thou shouldst not grieve.
